VERDIER, ANTHONY, Seigneur de Vauprivas, a useful Biographer and Bibliographer, was born at Montbrison en Forez, 1544; died 1600. The productions of his pen were,-La Prosopographie, ou Description des Personnes Insignes, &c., avec les Effigies d'aucuns d'iceux, et Braves Observations de leur temps, années, faits, et dits. Lyons, 1573, 4to. This was reprinted three times. The last by his son Claude, Paris, 1603, 3 vols. fol.-Les Diverses Leçons d'Antoine Duverdier, suivant celles de P. Messie. Lyons, 1576, 8vo. The most complete edition of this is that e of Tournon, 1605.-Le Compsentique, ou Traits Facetieux. 1584, 12mo. -La Bibliotheque d'Ant. Duverdier, contenant le Catalogue de tous les Auteurs qui ont écrit ou traduit en Français, avec le Supplement Latin du même Duverdier, à la Bibliotheque de Gesner. Lyons, 1585, fol. Croix du Maine's Work of the same kind had appeared the year before, and was reckoned the best of the two; but they have both been republished by Rigoley and Juvigny, with many improvements, under the title, Les Bibliotheques Françaises de Lacroix du Maine et de Duverdier. 1772, 6 vols. 4to.

VERDIER, CLAUDE, Son of the preceding, was born about 1566; fdied 1649. He had the ambition to become a Poet and a Critic; but his ambition was greater than his abilities. One of his Works was entitled, In Autores pene omnes Antiquos potissimum Censiones et Correctiones. 1586 and 1609, 4to.

VERDIER, GILBERT SAULNIER DU, a voluminous French Writer, of whose history little is known. It appears that he was Historiographer of France, and that, after all his numerous publications, he died in the Hospital of Salpetriere in 1686.-Thirteen Historical Works are ascribed to him, all published in 12mo., in one, two, or more volumes each, consisting of Histories of Rome, France, England, Spain, Turkey, &c.-His Rogmances amount to fourteen, but seem to be quite forgotten in his own country, and would not be revived by any specification.
